From down the rabbit hole of recommended videos I came, watched all your London videos now and have really enjoyed them - I love how open you've been to things and how you're willing to criticise, but also give reasons and an alternative perspective. Gained a subscriber here :)
Definitely do more Dining with Locals! It is nice to see the interaction and more explanation. Michael was great and it would have been nice to hear the story of how he found your channel and what his take is.
Pie, mash and liquor is so good, especially with white pepper and vinegar. I used to go to a pie and mash shop in Dalston before going to mad '90s techno parties there. Double pie, double mash, double liquor, then get double mashed at the rave xD
Try a Carvery. A lot of pubs offer them on Sundays in the UK. It's basically lots of roast meats for a set price. You can get roast Lamb and mint sauce.
Smithfield Market is one of the oldest and famous meat markets in London, which started in the 10th century. Presumably the Smithfield 1862 sausage is a recipe formulated there in the mid-nineteenth century. Loving your videos!
The mince pie is like a cousin of the "tourtière" here in Canada. It's a pie filled with ground meats and seasonings. Corned beef and mash is popular in Newfoundland, adopted from the Irish I believe.
That's a very upmarket pie & mash shop in Carnaby Street. Not at all typical of a proper pie & mash shop where you get either liquor or gravy with your pie and mash. Mash is just your standard mash potato smeared on the outside of the plate with the pies in the middle and liquor around the outside. The kicker is the chilli vinegar on the table that you liberally sprinkle on the liquor to take it to a new level of tastiness. If you're in SW London I'd recommend Golden Pie at Clapham Junction for some great traditional pie & mash.
Pie&mash with liquor and only liquor is the only British traditional pie&mash and it needs lots of vinegar and pepper. Traditionally the pies were eel pies (before my day) this is the reason liquor is parsley sauce and not gravy! Pie&mash shops still sell eels stewed or jellied and all original pie&mash shops were tiled with saw dust on the floor like a wet fish shop. :)
London is probably the best example we have on the planet, of what a multi-cultural society could be and should be. Don’t get me wrong it’s not perfect but it’s a good experience non the less. Also cheesy mustard mash for the win baby. Best mash ever.
Sir Squegg It’s weird, you put that comment on here a year ago, and you haven’t had the whole “Londinistan!! Muliticultural failure!! Death zone!! Third world!! There’s not even any English there anymore!! Come up north because there’s not a single friendly person in London!!” brigade descend on you yet. And yet some videos on London that’s like 75% of the comments. I agree with you, London is incredible. I wonder why some videos attract the BNP gang and some don’t. Interesting.
@@nick260682 Its interesting that even when nobody mentions it, someone like you comes along to point out that nobody has mentioned it while dropping phrases like 'multicultural failure, 'death zone' and 'Londistan'. Were you disappointed?
@@Robhalifax No it was a question tacitly about algorithms I suppose - some videos about London attract the frothing at the mouth gang who’ve never been there, but are furious about it because it is, and always has been a melting pot. And some videos don’t. Why do you ask?
@@nick260682 Because I have some sympathy for those views, albeit the less extreme ones. However, I came here to watch Americans eating traditional British food without feeling the need to get political.
Hope you enjoyed! Videos from the English countryside are on their way soon!

lol poor Michael, just watching you both tucking into his dish made me laugh - I know you guys do the meal thing to enlighten us all and that its part of your theme for the vlogs, but the look on his face!! Kyde where have you been? Lamb dishes without Mint Sauce (even as a side dish) is absolute sacrilege here in the UK - I once worked in a Hospital were staff neglected to put out the Mint Sauce to accompany the Lamb Roast and when a patient complained the staff got reprimanded! (true story). p.s. its all about the gravy, or as the French say 'the rouge'
JustBanter Tradition has it that the serving of mint with lamb was brought back from the Crusades by Knight Templars who had experienced it when eating amongst Arabs.
One theory of the development of the lamb/mint association suggests that it is a legacy of the roast lamb and bitter herbs eaten by the Israelites on the eve of their Exodus from Egypt. "Sweet and sour" sauces such as mint sauce were common throughout Medieval Europe but dried and fresh mint are also part of several dishes of Tunisian Cuisine; It has an interesting history for sure.
FYI, pie and mash shops across London are about traditional pie mash and liquor, I feel you missed out because you didn't have a traditional pie and plain mash to which you then add pepper and vinegar, it's what Londoners have grown up on. I like the idea of that pie shop though with its varying styles of sausages pies and mash.
As a young man I worked on streetworks for gas & water utility companies in the U.K During the cold spells we would have a full english breakfast & a hot pie type of lunch every day. Eat a big meaty dinner with beer & be as fit as a butchers dog !
pie and mash is what Londoners have. in the north of England it's pie, chips and gravy. when I went to London, being from the North west of England I asked for pie chips and gravy and the guy gave me a look of "are you mad?". if a Londoner went to Manchester I think they would get the same look if they asked for pie and mash.
yep .... oh no! I am getting that "I remember when..." moment. that's it I'm old! I remember once my mother gave me a big plastic bowl and told me to go to the chippy and ask them to fill it with chips n gravy and she would give me a pound to pay for it. you wouldn't get that today, the staff at the chippy would tell you to bugger off!
@Kepsux Smithfield sausages have a lot of rosemary, nutmeg and sage in them which would explain the alchoholicy taste. It's sometimes added as extracts with an alchohol tincture of whiskey or rum, so as not to add vegetation in there yet have the herbs and spices in the product. I think. This is my deduction.
Love your reviews :) makes me laugh though how in depth you review this stuff ! this is like the standard stuff! great job guys :) looking forward to going over your other videos from other countries :) keep up the great work. P.s Lamb n mint is defo a thing! if you get the chance you need to have a proper English roast?
You guys need to add Vinegar to the Liquor. It will become 10 x better, trust me ;-) **EDIT** Oh, I forgot to add....Just like @ 6:44 you would have the same reaction when you add the Vinegar!
seen you are in Leeds which is my neck of the woods and I am so looking forward to you exploring Yorkshire - Gods own county - love you guys and I'm noty into this sort of thing normally but you have me hooked
If you come again you should do more outer areas of London: Brixton, Richmond, Greenwich, Angel just some more areas where real people live, eat and go out.
I felt a bit uncomfortable watching this video because it seemed to me that at times you were excluding him from your conversation. If I had been in his situation, I would have felt like the veritable third wheel.
If eating pie and mash British style be great if they could learn to eat with the knife and fork, instead of American style fork only. Mint sauce with lamb is traditional but I like gravy instead, love your videos have just subscribed.
Sorry, that’s not real pie n’ mash. Pie & mash comes from shoos like Goddards, Manzies & Cookes. They just do normal mash and pie shop pies, which are basic minced beef with a very individual pastry, short crust bottom and flaky top. The other things they sell are jellied eels and a sauce you have over your pie called “Liquor” which is made from Eel stock and Parsley and is BRIGHT GREEN!
Michael seems like a cool guy, but that was really weird seeing a third person in your dynamic, noticed that you very rarely directly engage with other people in your videos, which, don't get me wrong, works really well...
Thank you Michael for participating with Kyde and Eric. We appreciate you! :-)

haha, what a champ that guy is letting you guys dig in to his dinner!
Even after she already used her fork.
I'm pretty sure they asked in advance if that was OK!!
No doubt, still fun to watch though :)
I love his accent so much omg.
went here yesterday off the back of your video ! delicious ! just realised watching again we sat at the same table too :)
Nice! Glad you enjoyed! -E
Keep your guest as a voice over guy because his voice and accent are great! 👍
Dining with locals is a great idea! Thats how you find the good food. Really enjoyed the vid.
You two are great , you always make me smile 😃
I would never had gone to carnaby street for pie and mash but I've got to hand it to Michael - the food looked good.
Loving the videos. You two are great fun to watch and provide brilliant information. Top work
As expected an informative and a very cosy video from two of my favourite film makers your commentary is easy on the ear
Your guest was very friendly... the British accent is Awesome
British accent ? I think you mean a North London accent. there is over 80 English accents, 8 Scottish accents and at least 4 Welsh accents.
**TheStgmp44* ~And of course, even just North London, *alone's,* got more than just the 'one accent'...!
He has a London accent.
Pie, mash and liquor is so good, especially with white pepper and vinegar.
I used to go to a pie and mash shop in Dalston before going to mad '90s techno parties there. Double pie, double mash, double liquor, then get double mashed at the rave xD
And bagels on the way home (for the one person who had an appetite)
TheAmishGamer
Proper laughed at double mashed
Try a Carvery. A lot of pubs offer them on Sundays in the UK. It's basically lots of roast meats for a set price. You can get roast Lamb and mint sauce.
They’re normally not very good - meat that’s been sat there drying out under a hot lamp for 3 hours. Don’t bother with it.
I love England, London❤

Over here a 'Mince Pie' is just a small, 3" fruit pie we have as dessert.
Brilliant! Love these blogs. Great choice of food Michael

This isn't traditional london pie and mash, this is more a commercial twist catered for tourists, still looks tasty though.
I bet the locals eat there too, it does look really tasty.
Bet they don't...not when there is a Cooks In Hoxton Street.
@Neal You would have been the better local guy... I love such places - it's like travelling back in a time machine...
Neal O'Gorman
Arments in walworth and the manzes shops are also very good.
I like Manzes and Goddards
I'm actually watching this while eating a Chicken, Bacon & Leek pie. I'm with you in spirit.
Thanks for the education on Profanity your adding more and more each ep ......
It’s always nice to be able to eat what the locals do! One day I hope to share a meal with you two!
These meals really need an excellent mug of tea to complete . God that's making me hungry.
Michael's voice is very attractive
OMG I thought the same, hes gorgeous too!
He sounds more British than Tyrion Lannister.
if you hit the coast on your travels, you have to try traditional fish, chips and mushy peas.
somehow, i feel lithis is like me with friends in a new restaurant,sharing olates and discussing all details 🙂

Maria Garcia no one wants to play with you , we just want pie and mash
Lamb is so good with garden mint which is totally different from peppermint flavoured ice cream
Your Vlog is nice because it has no artificial nonsense or horrible bits.
We are all CGI! Haha, thanks.
Off the bat, just started the video, that voice. Damn. Jelly.
Smithfield was the meat market in London.

But Michael was also helping himself with Eric's sausage too....I mean his Smithfield 1862 one.

I had to pause this video at around 7 mins through starvation, I'm back now eating bangers and mash with onion gravy nom nom.
As a young man I worked on streetworks for gas & water utility companies in the U.K During the cold spells we would have a full english breakfast & a hot pie type of lunch every day. Eat a big meaty dinner with beer & be as fit as a butchers dog !

eee by gum! chips, pie n gravy! 'ot from chippy! where's me tripe? nay! where's me black pudin'?
yep .... oh no! I am getting that "I remember when..." moment. that's it I'm old! I remember once my mother gave me a big plastic bowl and told me to go to the chippy and ask them to fill it with chips n gravy and she would give me a pound to pay for it. you wouldn't get that today, the staff at the chippy would tell you to bugger off!
Pie, mash and mushy peas is my fave!
Kelly pie and mash in Bethnal Green Road, London E2.

Mikey's pretty awesome...as are you two
Thank you and come again soon
Eric: Those were some bangin' bangers! Delish!
Put some salt and vinegar in the liquor and it’s superb. Pie and Mash and Liquor rules!
Good - thanks
How did you meet Michael? :)
He noticed we were in town from our social media and sent us a message! -E
Love your reviews :) makes me laugh though how in depth you review this stuff ! this is like the standard stuff! great job guys :) looking forward to going over your other videos from other countries :) keep up the great work. P.s Lamb n mint is defo a thing! if you get the chance you need to have a proper English roast?
Yea, we had one in York! Coming soon! -E
Watching this video just made me hungry!
Never had this combination of food together. Looked so good. Now I'll have to find a way to make this pie and mash through my low carb diet! 😆
try a mint aero choc bar or mint cornetto ice cream .
8:36
Kyde "I just stabbed him."
😂
Where's the jellied eel pot pie? That meal looked amazing.
Hilarious! Gourmet critiqued Pie and Mash!
You're a real food Vlogger, Kyde and Eric.
Mmmm... Cheesy mustard mash, gotta try some of that...
Awwwwwwwww that's amazing
The Smithfield 1862 was Sweeney Todds original recipe......
Whatever happened to Kyde and Eric? Retired in Japan?
I was eating a cheap pizza from Little Ceasers while watching this. I became pissed off at my food
Hahaha
Knives are there for a reason! I like the Indian guys accent!
ErikBefore you start pawing at peoples dinner plates you need to ask permission. U just take... lol
1862 is how long the sausage has been in the shop. 😜
I've never been a pie person. I much prefer bangers and mash. Great choice by Michael though!
british food gets a bad rap ' but it is so underrated and real ' im biased , buts its the best and quality
You guys need to add Vinegar to the Liquor. It will become 10 x better, trust me ;-)
**EDIT**
Oh, I forgot to add....Just like @ 6:44 you would have the same reaction when you add the Vinegar!
How come your not in Japan
Because we are exploring Europe!
In the time I watched this video I could have eaten all those meals. Was that £9.95. I thought it was going to be super rip off in Carnaby St.
great video
seen you are in Leeds which is my neck of the woods and I am so looking forward to you exploring Yorkshire - Gods own county - love you guys and I'm noty into this sort of thing normally but you have me hooked
If you come again you should do more outer areas of London: Brixton, Richmond, Greenwich, Angel just some more areas where real people live, eat and go out.
Agreed! There is so much to explore!
For once some decent recommendations from a TH-cam video on London comment section!!
Ow man, now I crave beef and ale pie with mashed potatoes. And in Germany there is no chance to get that wish fullfilled. Thanx very much 😉
Zero Cool I don' t think I am that gifted in the kitchen 😕
Why struggle with your fork? Use your damn knives!
It's an American thing for sure.
Good one guys, glad u enjoyed the UK...... still my fave is “Peep show for Chickens” 😂😂😂😂
Shame you didn't go to a real Pie and mash shop !
It's called the mash! The Mother Mash!
It's a backyard smash
OMG! Im Now so hungry!!!!
I felt a bit uncomfortable watching this video because it seemed to me that at times you were excluding him from your conversation. If I had been in his situation, I would have felt like the veritable third wheel.
In Wales we eat seaweed everyday. Everyone does. Seaweed and Leeks. If you don’t eat it, you lose your council house.
Haha
That all looked tasty
If eating pie and mash British style be great if they could learn to eat with the knife and fork, instead of American style fork only. Mint sauce with lamb is traditional but I like gravy instead, love your videos have just subscribed.
I like gravy with my Mint sauce ;-)
Oye! Rachel and Jun commercial Bokksu on older video's
Onion gravy, yummy.

Great place mother mash good choice.
Mother Mash is not one for the Pie and Mash aficionados.
That's OK, we are just beginners. -E

Yea, it's not something we feel we are very good at, to be honest. We need more practice. -E
@@kydeanderic Works great with just the two of you
Lamb and mint sauce yummy
Any body else watching this in 2020 and thinking about cross contamination ? . Things have certainly changed in 2 years .
Alas,,, that is not a traditional London pie and mash shop
Great video but to be truly authentic you need to go to the east end for pie and mash.
Very awkward 2:02 to 2:29 , but otherwise awesome vid!
I get hungry
Green Gravy??? I have never sen green gravy
It's not gravy, it's a parsley sauce we call liquor.
Why can't American's use a knife & fork?!...............
I don't know.. maybe we are used to fast food lol why can't British use a toothbrush?!...........
did you guys have a baby yet? I have been away a long time.
Hahaha, no. Glad you swung back by! -E
😐
Problem?
My Cousin said you did, I should have known better...
Tell your cousin we said hi!
Love love love your videos. But.....you could’ve laid off making him explain his racial background to you.
Why? Just because he has coloured skin? Do you realise how racist you sound?
